Felsina Rancia Chianti Classico Riserva
The Rancia vineyard takes its name from the historic Rancia farmhouse, once a Benedictine monastery. Located in Castelnuovo Berardenga at elevations ranging between 400 and 420 meters with a beautiful southwest-facing exposure. The more recent plantings utilize genetic material from specific selections gathered from the old Rancia vineyard. The soil is composed of limestone, classic to the Castelnuovo Berardenga area and of galestro (loose)marl in some areas.
This wine is perfect for all of your holiday pairings. 100% Sangiovese, 20 months in French oak. Ruby red appearance with rich, intense tones. Spicy nose with floral notes and hints of wild berry (red and black), accompanied by mineral impressions and light toasted notes. Spice re-appears on the palate, which displays firm but supple tannins, and the finale is vigorous and taut. Overall, the wine is compelling for its flavor-rich mid-palate and supporting acidity. It is silky smooth with a powerful finish, you will not stop sipping this.
Additionally, here is what the "experts" had to say about it:
Robert Parker 94, The Wine Advocate - "The 2009 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia emerges from the glass with freshly cut roses, sweet red berries, licorice, spices and tar. This is a mid-weight, silky Rancia that impresses for its textural beauty and finesse. The Rancia emerges from a high-altitude site planted from 1958 through 1982 with Sangiovese. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, but the oak is never noticeable, even when the wine is young. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029."
Antonio Galloni 94, Vinous- "The 2009 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia more than holds its own in this complete vertical. It shows elements of both a cold year in its mid-weight structure and a warmer vintage in its radiant fruit, a combination that represents an attractive stylistic middle ground. I very much like the sense of energy and intensity here. Bright acidity and youthful tannins frame the supple fruit. It will be interesting to see whether the 2009 develops along the lines of the cooler vintage Rancias, or whether the juiciness of the fruit will ultimately prevail in the wine's balance. Either way, the 2009 is yet another terrific Rancia from Felsina."
We always have the Felsina Chianti Classico on our shelves. But I highly recommend you grab a bottle of this beauty while you can.

ITALIAN TRADITION—FEAST OF THE SEVEN FISHES
|
In accordance with religious beliefs, Italians observe a 24 hour fast prior to Christmas Eve which ends with a seven course meal of fresh seafood dishes. Meat is never served.
Over the years, the number of courses served by most Italian-American families on Christmas Eve has decreased as newer generations shy away from tradition. However, fish remains the central feature of this grand dinner.
Available at our store: Marinated Seafood Salad [shown], Baccala (salted cod), Smelts, Whole Calamari (cleaned), Lobster & Crab Ravioli.
